I've never had a problem going to the bathroom before, but now I can't get a bowel movement out, even though I feel the urge. It's painful and feels blocked. I think this is due to constipation from taking oxycontin and not drinking enough fluids. Will a stimulant laxative/stool softener combination solve this problem?

I had my last period on May 8th, 2008, which was shorter and lighter than usual. Two weeks later, I experienced symptoms like fatigue, nausea, headaches, sore breasts, and menstrual-like cramps until my next period, which came a week early on May 3rd, 2008. It was bright red and medium to heavy flow but stopped by May 5th, 2008, with only pink blood afterward. My periods are usually regular, and I took multiple negative pregnancy tests. What could be happening?

I will be 8 weeks pregnant when we are going snow skiing. This is my fourth pregnancy and I have had no problems with any previous pregnancies. I am physically fit. We have gone snow skiing once a year for the last eighteen years. Will it be okay for me to ski, of course mostly greens with my children, as long as I only ski a few hours a day and tone it down a lot?

What happens when you take birth control pills while pregnant? Will there be bleeding, and does spotting after taking birth control pills mean that I am not pregnant?
